Review of Dancing Lady (1933) by Stan D — 06 Jun 2016
Joan Crawford when she was young and beautiful, Clark Gable when he was young, the first movie appearance of Fred Astaire, Franchot Tone, and the Three Stooges, Moe, Larry and Curly; the cast makes this a must-see movie.
A down and out dancer finds love and success in this delightful, highly entertaining film. If you are a movie history buff, this is required viewing, with the biggest stars of the 1930s. This is also an example of a pre-code enforcement film, with a revealing burlesque show at the start, and Joan Crawford flaunting her body throughout the movie, dancing in a skimpy outfit, swimming with a muscular Franchot Tone, and in the gym with Clark Gable.
This is an early Joan Crawford story, when she was the hero of many poor Great Depression era women with her real life story and movie theme of rags to riches.
